We are advising anyone who attended this event to call the COVID-19 hotline 444-2498 to arrange to be tested on Sunday afternoon. In the meantime, we are advising individuals who attended to quarantine from others outside their household until they further advised.

(1/5) Many in #Bermuda are concerned about possible clusters of #COVID19. Please rest assured that the @DoHBermuda team that has effectively managed the Pandemic is acting out of an abundance of caution to ensure that anyone who may have possibly been exposed is quarantined. (2/5) Please note that "Quarantine" means there is a possibility that someone may have been exposed. This is a precaution so that if the quarantined person does eventually test positive they won't transmit the virus to others. People who are Quarantined have not tested positive.

#BeingBlackInBermuda is knowing that your talents are better appreciated overseas but you are still determined to fight for your rightful place in your own country to ensure your children don't have to put up with BS that you did growing up. -DB

mobile.royalgazette.com/article/200003… Someone asked why am I not working in IB in #Bermuda. Being valedictorian of my high school, earning a bachelors degree with honours, elected president of GWU & a graduate fellowship for my masters degree wasn't enough to crack the IB bubble as a black Bermudian man in 2003. -DB
